Chasing My Rejected Luna
Chapter 52

EZRA'S P.O.V

It felt like it had been hours since they took Tegan to the OR. I was supposed to protect them, both her and my child. I failed. In the meantime, of waiting for any news at all I called my kingdom doctor and requested she and some of her medical team be sent here so we can transfer both Tegan and our son back to the Kingdom. I don't care how much she hates me; their safety is my top priority. I won't force her to be my mate, but she will damn sure live in my kingdom so that I can ensure the safety of not only her but our son as well. I hadn't been calling him by any name. I didn't want to overstep in case Tegan had already selected a name for him. And I would be damned if I gave up hope that she will make it out. She wasn't going to die, not here, not like that. She would live to be old as her hair fades from her vibrant red to her silky grey. She couldn't die, not like this.

'Her mom did.' Kingston's sad voice piped in my head.

"No, that was different. She won't die like her mom!" I screamed out loud instead without realizing it. Which in turn made the others in the room jump from my sudden outburst.

"She will pull through, don't you worry." Helena said as she laid her hand on my shoulder. However, my eyes never left the tiny body that laid in the machine.

His hair was as dark as mine. He hardly opened his eyes, but from what I can tell they'll resemble his mother's eyes. If anything, he will be more like his mother than me, I pray to the goddess he is because I am a failure. A man who didn't fight hard enough when it counted. I want him to be brave, and resilient. I want him to never back down from what he truly wants, no matter what. I want him to feel the unconditional love. He deserves so much more than what fate has already thrown at him. While lost in my thoughts a tap on my shoulder reminded me, I was not alone. I shook my head pulling myself together before turning to look at who was there. Uriah stood at the door his face showing no emotions.

"Alpha King, a word please?" He said as he exited the

room.

I looked back at my son, not wanting to leave his side, afraid if I do something else might happen.

"I will be right here. He will be fine." Helena said reassuringly.

I nodded my head before standing up and following where Uriah had disappeared from. Once out the room, I gently closed the door behind me. When I turned to see Uriah, many emotions crossed his face. "What is it Uriah?"

"First, I want to know how you're holding up. Are you okay?"

"As well as one could be in this situation I suppose."

"But are you okay?"

"Truthfully, I am terrified. I keep feeling like at any moment something else may happen. The sooner Tegan is in recovery the sooner we can get out of this hell hole." "Agreed." Uriah stated.

"So, if you've left your post there must be an update?" I said concerned for a moment.

"The witch killed him before I made it back, she left his mangled body on the stone that Tegan was on. She was nowhere in sight."

"It is strange that his pack didn't fight, they didn't even show up." I stated confused.

"Not even Beta Gabriel."

"Actually, I haven't seen any warriors. Not when we entered or since we have been here. I wonder why they would allow people to come upon their lands if they did sense us."

"Or why they haven't questioned us since being here." Uriah pointed out.

"Go and find anyone, get word of where Beta Gabriel is and what is going on. Liam died at the hands of someone he was working alongside with, and his pack did nothing to defend him. We need to get to the bottom of why." I stated.

"Also, Lydia was spotted escaping from the pack house. Our warriors tracked her to the edge of the property line and then lost her due to the river."

"Once we are back at the Kingdom, we will put a warrant out for her. Dead or alive. Reward to whom brings her in."

"Sounds good."

"You go and get some digging done. As for Liam's body. I would like it to be cremated here on his land. I want his ashes."

"His ashes?"

"That's what I said. I have something in mind for them. He wanted to be a king and he wanted a say in our lives. He will have one, just not what he had anticipated on having."

"What does that mean?"

"You will see. See to it his body is burned and all ashes are given to me. Once that is completed. Find Beta Gabriel. We need to have some words." I said as the doctor who took Tegan's back for surgery appeared in the doorway. "Excuse me, I have some other matters to attend to now." I said as I departed from Uriah and went straight to the doctor.

"Doctor." I said as I approached.

"Surgery is completed."

"How is she?" I asked calmly although my nerves were at an all-time high.

"She is in recovery. She lost a lot of blood, but she will be fine." The last words sending relief all throughout my body.

"When can I see her?"

"She will be in recovery for observation for an hour, once that is complete, we will bring her to your sons' room. They will share a room so that they won't need to be separated."

"Thank you. Thank all of you for saving my family."

"Of course, Alpha King. I must get back there but I will bring her out soon." She said before walking back through the double doors she had come from.

I walked back into the hospital room, Helena sitting in the spot I vacated a moment prior. Her head snapping up to look at me.

"Any news?"

"Your sister got away. Liam is dead. His Beta and warriors are MIA. Lydia was spotted and tracked but got away. And the most important update, Tegan is doing well in recovery post-surgery." "Oh, thank the goddess above!"

"Once she is cleared from post op observation, she will be transported to this room until we leave." I said happily.

"Good. So, what are we going to do about the rest of the update?"

"Take it one step at a time. Uriah is working on some of it now. But for us, let's just rejoice that both Tegan and our son are both alive and stable."

"Amen to that." Helena said as she hugged me before stepping out of the room.

A knock at the door had me look over. The door opened as the doctor wheeled an awake Tegan into the room.

"So, it wasn't a bad dream..."
